The Orlando Summer League showcased a "Few Good Players" as the Bluedude has kept close tabs on many of the standout players in the 2014 Orlando NBA Summer League. There were a few players that stood out from most as they were bringing it in every 'Tilt". The Motor City's 2013 1st Round and Top Pick Kentavious Caldwell-Pope showed many why he won't be in the 2K15 Summer League and should be in that Starting Line Up in the "D" come Tip-Off 2014-15. Then there is Long Beach State 49ers Miniature PG Casper Ware doing what he did at the Beach...control the flow of the game at his fingertips. 2014 2nd Round Pick Nick Johnson of "Desert Swarm" Basketball in Tucson was a Highlight Reel as he messed around and went Triple-Double and a 360 Hammer to boot going Nerf Rim.

Top Players at MOUSE Town Summer League 2K14

SG Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope #MotorCityPistons 24 ppg 7.4 rpg 

Attacking the Rim off the bounce and shooting with Range from the Arc as former Pistons GM Joe D didn't miss here. The M.V.P. of the Mouse Town Summer League.

PG Casper Ware #SixersNation 19 ppg 5 apg

He ran the show for Philly as they went 5-1 under his watch. He will get a serious look come Sixers Camp as M.C.W and Tony Wroten Jr. have that Philly Back Court on lock.

SG Nick Johnson #RedNation 15.8 ppg 6 rpg 4.8 apg

He fell to the Rockets in the 2nd round and he was right behind K.C.P. in the M.V.P. Vote. In the last game vs Brooklyn he goes 15 pts, ten rebounds, and ten assists as they win 101-75. He also goes 360 Dunk for those who draft the late great NBA HOF Dennis Johnson's Nephew...Nick Johnson.

C Kelly Olynyk #GreenTeam 17.5 ppg 7.3 rpg 2 stls

He is the future at Center for the C's if Trade Danny doesn't move him let's say for the "Lake Oswego Monster" Kevin Love dropping names. The "Olynyk Clinic" has a nice inside/out game for an NBA Big with 23'9" Range to boot.

PF Mason Plumlee #FlatbushProHoops 18 ppg 4.7 rpg

"Plums" came on late in his rookie season spelling minutes for the injured Kevin Garnett. His Athleticism alone along with his ability to run the floor and be a rim protector gives this young man a huge upside.

PG Marcus Smart #GreenTeam 14.8 ppg 4.2 rpg 4.2 apg 2stls

Look at those numbers for a surefire Top 3 pick if he had came out in 2013. Smart displayed his Logo-Ready Defensive Prowess along with his ability to post up smaller guards with his almost 230 pound frame.

SF James Ennis #HeatNation 17 ppg 5.8 rpg 

Ennis was a nice find for the Heat as they were 1-4 but he and Rookie PG Shabazz Napier were the lone bright spots. Now with King James in C-Town he might have a Roster Slot his for the taking at the Small Forward.

SF Jordan Adams #GritAndGrindBealeStreet 14.8 ppg 3.4 rpg 

The Grizz surprised a few people talking Adams that high in the 1st round but he didn't disappoint at all. Silky-Smooth with NBA-Ready Gears to boot he has a lot of The "Truth" Paul Pierce in his game not the most athletic players but his Basketball IQ is 2nd to none.

PF/C Mitch McGary #ThunderAlley 14.8 ppg 5.8 rpg

McGary used that big body to maneuver his way through the "Paint" as he looks to be a solid find for OKC. McGary is just what the Thunder have been looking for to go with Serge Ibaka as an Inside Presence.
